I don't know how much longer
I can pretend to be okay
Before my sunshine smile falters
And my heart becomes a bay
I love to laugh for others
But there's only so much I can do
Before I blow my cover
And my pain starts effecting you
I don't know how much longer
I can pretend to be okay
Before my regrets get stronger
And my guilt eats me away
I love to watch their eyes
As in them I see bliss
But still I choose the dark nights
Over the unknown ignorance
I don't know how much longer
I can pretend to be okay
Before one night turns somber
And I don't wake up that day

I don't know how much longer
I can pretend to be okay
Before my sunshine smile falters
And my heart becomes a bay
I love to laugh for others
But there's only so much I can do
Before I blow my cover
And my pain starts effecting you
I don't know how much longer
I can pretend to be okay
Before my regrets get stronger
And my guilt eats me away
I love to watch their eyes
As in them I see bliss
But still I choose the dark nights
Over the unknown ignorance
I don't know how much longer
I can pretend to be okay
Before one night turns somber
And I don't wake up that day
